Teaching your child to read can feel overwhelming—especially when the world says kids should already be reading by age five. In this episode, I’m joined by Melanie, former core literacy teacher and host of the globally ranked Phonics Rules for Kids podcast, to talk about what learning to read actually looks like for real kids.
Melanie shares practical, encouraging advice for homeschool moms who want to teach reading with confidence using simple phonics skills—without tears, overwhelm, or constant battles at home.
In this conversation we discuss:
The normal age range for children learning to read
Signs your child is truly ready for reading instruction
The best age to begin phonics lessons
How to make phonics fun and engaging
Whether you really need a phonics curriculum
Strategies that help kids with ADHD stay engaged during lessons
Encouragement for moms battling self-doubt in homeschooling
If you’ve ever wondered, “Can I really teach my child to read?” this episode will leave you feeling equipped, encouraged, and reminded that you absolutely can.
